Way 2: How to Directly Stream Blu-Ray to Apple TV without Converting?<\/h2>\n
The method discussed above both requires the time-consuming task of converting Blu-ray to Apple TV before streaming Blu-ray to Apple TV. Here I would like to suggest a better way for you to stream Blu-ray to Apple TV yet without converting. In order to bypass the complicated process of Blu-ray ripping, we need to take good advantage of a third-party program, VLC Media Player<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
As for copyright protection, Apple won't allow Blu-ray streaming if Blu-ray player on Mac is used, so it is wise to employ a piece of third-party software. Like what is stated above, VLC media player, a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player, will greatly function. Being a powerful program, VLC player is well compatible with all platform, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Unix, iOS, Android and so on. Most importantly, it is a totally free program. Free download and install VLC media player beforehand, and then we can begin to stream Blu-ray to Apple TV for watching Blu-ray directly on Apple TV.<\/p>\n
In the following guide, I am to take VLC player Mac version as an example to elaborate the process of streaming Blu-ray.<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/p>\nAfter the installation of VLC player on your MacBook, launch it, go to \"File\" > \"Open Disc\" in VLC and open your Blu-ray disc, like what is showed as illustrated. When the Blu-ray disc is opened, the Blu-ray video will be played on VLC player. The next step is Airplay Mirroring setting. By hitting \"System Preferences\" > \"Displays\", you can enable Airplay Mirroring. Please bear in mind that during mirroring or streaming process, your MacBook and Apple TV must connect to the same network such as WiFi. Then VLC window will be showed on your large-screen HDTV, which means video and audio is streamed to your TV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
